dbt2

The first thing is the scripts are somewhat of mess. Things like setting user/socket settings are not intuitive and in .37 required me to hack the run_workload script. The run_workload script calls scripts that do not exist anymore. Which is really annoying.
The lack of documentation hurts because all the references I have seen show a 20 warehouse run with x number of terminals/threads. At the levels I have seen I get crap results like 500TPM, but when I look at the system my system is not even breaking a sweet. I upped the # of warehouses to 50, and the threads to like 700 and I end up getting near 18K TPM. And this puts my CPU @ 45% and my io wait around 5% with SSD.
I will post more as I find more.
